Deutsche Rechtschreibung und Grammatik

Winner: Claude Opus 4.8

Six language models competed on German spelling and grammar — cloud heavyweights against locally-run models. Claude Opus 4.8 edged out GPT-5.5 by a razor-thin 0.015 points, decided by a higher hit rate in the challenge phase. The real surprise was the locally-run GLM-5.2, which reached the podium and left cloud-versus-local almost tied. The ≤16 GB home category stayed empty: even the smallest model tested needed around 17 GB. GPT-5.5 actually led on peer recognition and consistency — the challenges made the difference.

Logisches Denken & Schlussfolgern

Winner: GPT-5.5

The second battle tackled formal logic, lateral thinking and self-reference. GPT-5.5 narrowly beat Claude Opus 4.8 — but the real story was the home category: for the first time the ≤ 16 GB class had a winner, with Phi-4 14B running on a regular consumer GPU at around 11 GB. On the easier logic questions the field stayed tight; only the barber paradox separated the top from the rest. (Placeholder entry with illustrative values.)
